The present publication is the Thirty-third issue of the Statistical Hand­ book of West Bengal. It seeks to provide statistical information on various socio­ economic aspects of the State. Attempts have been made to incorporate up-to- date information in this publication maintaining the continuity of the time series of data published in the previous issues. I would like to thank various organisations for the active co-operation received from them in the timely supply of data. The officers and staff of Reference Technical Section and EDPU of the Bureau also deserve my thanks for their sincere and hard work in bringing out this publication. I would welcome suggestions for improvement of future publications.
